Venue: Stadium Likas (35000 seats)

Happy home supporters, the away team steals it or a score draw? It's all up in the air when the mid-table sides Sabah and Selangor duel at Stadium Likas.

Insights:
  • Sabah have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Selangor have the most points from losing position (13) in Super League

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

These teams have little in common geographically as Selangor have to travel 3800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Sabah can neither be promoted or relegated from Super League. Selangor is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Sabah form and stats

The Super League results playing at home this season for Sabah are 4-2-4 (wins-draws-losses). Sabah has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager D. Kurniawan and the players.

Sabah are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 294 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by L. Madinda).

The fans are hoping that Sabah will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Super League game against UiTM (placed 12th). As you see from the result above, Sabah suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Ahead of that match, Sabah lost 0-3 at home to Pulau Pinang.

A decent goal production from Sabah in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 10 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.
